The Cat-Hicd,

In an article or "Virginia Birds" L.
S. Hunter says in the Southern BiCouac:
When the spring has advanced little
more, and the dogwoods and spirIas are
mingling their snowy blossoms with the
pyrus japonicas, there appears little
summer visitor, which is most undeser-
vcdly unpopular. 1t is the cat-bird. He
is a BLUSH bird with black wing and tail
feathers and piercing black eye. AL
though not crested bird, the dark color
of feathers on top of his head produces
the appearance of neatly finished cap,
and brown spot under his body, re-
vealed distinctly when the bird is in
fight, form an effective contrast to the
solidity of the other two colors blended
in his plumage. The unpopularity of the
cat-bird arises perhaps from discordant
scream, which it utters ON the approach
of any enemy toward its nest, and us its
most dreaded and deadly foe is the snake.
and this cry of Indignation and terror is
oftenest provoked by this reptile, the
cat-bird has been .vulgarly accused of
calling snakes" although in point of fact
no apparition could be more unwelcome
to the poor bird. Seated upon bough
or shrub of some thickly growing variety
of tree, the cat-bird bursts into songs of
exquisite and varied sweetness. Uttering
a few low, rich notes of suppressed pre-
Jude, its cadenccs gradually change to
swelling strains of most enchanting
melody, and no song-bird in Virginia is
more persistent in its musical exercises
during its whole sojourn with us.
Threads, bits of rag and paper are eager
ly appropriated by the cat-bird for its
nest, which is built where it can be
sheltered by the densest foliage, and con-
tains five eggs of wildly green color.

The Tulip.

The varieties of the tulip are innumer-
able; and the florists lists include many
hundreds. In the East, before the SEQ
years of European cultivation had devel-
oped its susceptibility to these changes,
gold and scarlet were its insignia of color,
and the poets gave to the fiery splendor
the language of love. On the banks of
the Bosphorus, it is said, the tulip repre-
sents Inconsistency as well as ardor; and
those which grow wild in the fields of
Byzantium, with 'petals fiery red and
centers black as though burnt" say to
the captive beauty that she has kindled a
heart with undying fervor.-Neao YORK

OF the three, Miss Warmer perhaps
felt the shock longer than the two who
had been so near their deaths that morn
ing. For several days she remained al
most wholly in her chamber. Fielding
and Denton went about as if nothing had
happened. Fielding, who was quite
wealthy, showed the other some extra
little attentions, it may be, but neither of
them alluded in any way to the late al
most tragic occurrence.
Elma Warmer, on the other hand,
could not refrain from talking of it.
